Without a bios on the scsi card you will be unable to boot from it. I have a scsi card without a bios which i have a hard drive and a tape drive attached i also have 2 ide drives in the system each on there own channel and i use a ide drive for booting. for grub to know your scsi card is there it needs to load the initrd so it can load the modules needed. so maybe get a small ide drive for your boot partition or use a boot disk with the needed scsi modules built in.
